The death of a dear friend makes everyone stop and...
My dad recently attended a college friend’s funeral. My sent me an email shortly after explaining his own sentiments on the brevity of life. He wants to spend time with me as soon as possible.
I’m always down.
It made me think too. My mom knew this college friend as well.
Death can tear people apart or bring people together. I am sorry that my parents lost a friend from their...

So much encouragement & so much to think about!
What’s your “tumor”? What is is that God put in your life that’s causing you to suffer, but is intended by Him to direct your path? What is God using to make you stronger & bring you to a greater understanding of who you are in His hands? How is His power made evident in your weakness?
How do you pray? Are you grateful?...

Are You Fresh for Everything?
Jan 20, 2012
Jesus answered and said to him, ’Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God’ —John 3:3
Sometimes we are fresh and eager to attend a prayer meeting, but do we feel that same freshness for such mundane tasks as polishing shoes?
Being born again by the Spirit is an unmistakable work of God, as mysterious as the wind, and as surprising as...

My heart
is filled with memories of people. Certain young people invade my mind time to time. I attribute this to the past. The prayer I invested in them. Some kids don’t know how much I value their presence. The first group I advised was OIC. I’d hear them share their struggles and triumphs. I’d keep their names penciled on a sticky note in my car. Or a picture. To help me remember to...

It's those mornings I wake up with one sock...
The past two days I spent most of my time contemplating how much work I needed to get done. I ended up doing none of it. I busied myself with trivial things, had an emotional breakdown I attributed to being on my period, then had a one hour break from reality. I watched Pretty Little Liars. Yes, at 24 I watch stuff for teeny-boppers. It was a Halloween episode. Kinda creepy, but entertaining....
